MUM 527/10

Sarfaraz unbeaten on 222, fifth highest individual score in Irani Cup history. Mukesh wraps up the first innings in style, with a fifer. Rest of India has its task cut out as it begins the second innings in a while. 

Mukesh returns. Sarfaraz hits it to deep cover but doesn’t take a run. He pulls the next two deliveries deep to the leg side but doesn’t rotate strike. Finally a single added to the scoreboard. Slips and short leg in place for Juned. OUT! Juned Khan loses his off-stump to Mukesh and that brings an end to Mumbai’s first innings.

Mohammad Juned Khan b Mukesh Kumar 0 (11)

Mukesh starts with two dots. Sarfaraz connects with the fourth ball, goes to the fielder at deep backward point but no single. Field discussions going on between Mukesh and RoI players, gully in place now. Last ball goes down leg to end the maiden. 

Prasidh into the attack. Two slips in place for Juned. Opting for bouncers which Juned dodges. Fielders all around the tail-ender to avoid a single. OUT! LBW given by umpire..

Reviewed and decision reversed. Juned is safe. 

Both teams are making their way to the ground to get going on Day 3.

Sarfaraz Khan and Juned Khan on strike for Mumbai. Mukesh to start the proceedings for Rest of India.
